Copperhead has spent 2 years waging a war against me spreading misinformation and fraudulent claims. They've done immense damage to my life and to the project. There's an ongoing legal battle which is expensive and time consuming. They stole hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I'm genuinely quite upset about people claiming to support me while enabling the narcissistic sociopath who screwed me over to continue abusing me by lending him the credibility he so desperately needs, similar to his false claims about partnerships that he puts on their site.

Learning how to accept that one has no control over what others think and say is a valuable lesson in life. Heck, I even forgot that lesson at some point and it did a real number on me.

I have control over who follows me and if I wanted I could have control over who uses my future work. Maybe I won't continue working on open source projects in the future when the community of users around it is so unsupportive of me even when I desperately need their help.

I don't think Trezor supports that and it's the only way I want to handle Bitcoin. I don't really see how it's relevant to these discussions. Finances aren't close to the top thing on my mind right now. There are more pressing issues like the escalating attacks from Copperhead.

Tell me how to set up PayNym or something else with Trezor rather than a static address and I'll do it. Keep in mind that someone can make small donations ending up in the same pool of money. I'm not really sure how avoiding the static address can be a viable approach to privacy.

You got a passphrase on that Trezor?

I use the passphrase feature. What I like about the current way of doing donations is that there are no moving parts. I don't need to maintain another service or worry about it being compromised. Doing it this way gives me peace of mind about the donations being safe and secure.

Ok, great. You can import that seed and passphrase directly into Samourai. Your PayNym is deterministically generated from the seed. Apk download here. samouraiwallet.com/download/lates code.samourai.io/wallet/samoura

I don't want to give my seed / passphrase to anything but the Trezor though. I'm always careful to enter the passphrase only on the Trezor itself rather than my phone. My main concern is the security of the money.

I'd rather just make a separate wallet for this if it's going to need a seed / passphrase and then regularly transfer over the money to the same hardware wallet. It's one more thing I need to worry about and deal with though. I also think typical Trezor frontends won't handle it.

You can make a new wallet of course as well

Ok. Each to their own. I don’t like putting my seed on a device with no secure element and then typing a passphrase into a computer or, on that very same device.

I'd prefer to have a hardware wallet making good use of a secure element but I haven't found an alternative preserving other important properties. I don't agree with the Trezor devs dislike of secure elements. No ARM SoC has open hardware / firmware anyway.
